Q33: There are several indications in Addendum #3 that it is the Port’s intent that the “temporary retaining wall” will not actually be removed, but incorporated in the final project.

#Please clarify full

In Phase 1, a temporary wall is designed and constructed by the contractor to support the full height embankment to allow for settlement of the existing ground. RESPONSE: Structures plans including the concrete piles, pile cap, abutment, and MSE walls are to be constructed in Phase 2, after the Geotechnical Engineer has verified adequate settlement has taken place. Q32: Please further clarify Addendum #3 / Question #64, response is confusing. Bid due date remains October 7, 2020, 3:00 PM. This will not leave enough time to evaluate / incorporate into proposal. In addition, Addendum #3 states next addendum will have a new bid form (new numbering, added items and deleted items), new plan sheets for quantity summaries, potential new Structure exc / backfill quantities, etc. There are still bidder’s questions from previous question deadline that are not answered yet. Currently we aren’t supposed to have next / final addendum until end of day September 30th ( essentially October 1st) to be able to start reviewing and coordinating with subs / suppliers.

Q31: Please consider a 1 week extension to October 14th, 2020 for new bid date. RESPONSE: Terracon has been retained by the Port to provide all testing.
